Hi Louie,
You can't use markers -- that really does require using an editor like
vi or emacs, and I believe that Yvonne has posted in the archives
about using vi in terminal. But what you can do is use Control-V to
move down by pages after making a selection.
So, for example:
I'm at the start of a line and want to select the next 4 pages. Hold
down the shift key and press Control-V four times. Your selection
will include the next 4 pages worth of text. Use Command-C to copy
the selection.
Cheers,
Esther

Sure I know that. If I want to copy 4 pages I would like to put a
marker at the top of the first page then do 4 page downs and put a
marker there.

How do you move down 10 lines? So if you are at the beginning of a
paragraph, you might down arrow 10 times to get to the end of the
paragraph. So you just shift-down arrow to select while you're
navigating. Once you're done you can just apple-c to copy the
selection.

Hi all,
Is there a way to mark a block of text with out marking one line
at a time? Can I put a block marker at the top of text then go
down let's say 10 lines and place a block marker there and copy it
to the paste board?
